COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONSundog is an ale whose amber color is as
deep as the copper glow of a Lake Michigan sunset. Its Biscuit malt and
Fuggle hops give it a toasty character and a subtle, malty sweetness. We
believe Sundog is the deepest, richest amber you’ll find anywhere.

This beer tastes darker than it looks. I sense a strong smell of wheat, although in this beers case, it's Spelt in place of wheat. A good, drinkable beer that you might enjoy I'd you like the sweet earthy tones.

12 oz bottle poured a deep, red-amber with an oversized off-white head. I had to wait for the head to die down a bit before sampling this amber.
Aroma: the earthy Fuggle hops work great in the flavor but not so well for my nose.
Flavor: rich and malty; lightly sweet but turning mildly bitter by the aftertaste which also has a touch of hops. Approaches 8.
Feel: very smooth; near medium body; Medium, soft carbonation.
O: a wee bit more malt and hops than your average amber. Nicely done.

Sundog pours a deep rusty copper with a decent beige head that lasts a good while. The aroma is toast and caramel. The flavor is toast and caramel as well. This beer lacks complexity. It is a fairly malt forward amber that is pretty easy to drink, but it fails to make a distinctive impression. Overall the beer is average.

This ale poured a cloudy dark red colour with a minimal foamy head. To the nose there are scents of grassy hops, dough and toast. First sip was smooth with a mild shot of hops and lightly sweet malt flavour on top of brown sugar and mildly smoked caramel. Finish is a little smokey with flavours of caramel lingering.

Pours a slightly hazy amber. Mild aroma of toasty malts with some hop spice. Flavor is crisp toast, with mildly sweet biscuit malt. Well balanced with some warm spicy hops with a touch of deep citrus hop. There’s a whole lot of flavor for session amber ale. I’ll certainly have it agalin.
